While providing these functionalities, Wireless LAN (WLAN)'s have some security vulnerabilities that should be addressed. Failing to examine the security risks of WLAN technology and take the necessary countermeasures may result in unauthorized entry into the legacy local area networks and other attacks. A secure connection to an...

One criticism of professionals in public service is that they resist changing the occupational norms that would decrease their power even though it would benefit their clients. In an examination of the relationship between professionalism and change, data were collected from elementary school principals, local school board members, and lay members of community health planning. Principals were slightly less inclined than school board members to accept change. The least professional of the three...

Accountability has become synonymous with standardized testing in many Western countries such as Canada, the United States, Great Britain and New Zealand. Schools and districts are increasingly ranked based on their students' performance on standardized tests. Unfortunately, standardized testing measures possess a number of limitations that prevent them from being used as a sole indicator of student performance. This paper proposes a comprehensive approach to student assessment--one focused on...

One of the outgrowths of the student counterculture of the late 1960's and 1970's was the emergence of a specifically educational counterculture that found a following among members of college and university faculties. As war and militarism declined as dominant issues provoking campus unrest, assaults on the structure of higher education sharpened. The experience of the University of New Mexico was typical: faculties became polarized between those defending traditional academic practices and...

A study examined the alignment between state standards and assessments in elementary reading. The impetus for the study was a request by the National Research Council's Committee on Title I Testing and Assessment for information on the extent to which students' performance on state assessments could be assumed to provide evidence of their level of achievement of state standards. Concerns about alignment arose from the context surrounding Title I legislation. The sample for the survey of the...

Inclusive assessment and accountability for all students with disabilities has been a significant focus of educators for the past six years. Yet only 35 states reported 1999-2000 test results for students with disabilities on some of their state assessments. Although the areas of assessment and accountability are just one focus of IDEA 1997 and the recently passed No Child Left Behind Act, they still are an important foundation for providing equal access and opportunity to learn for all...

While the advent of distributed and grid computing systems will open new opportunities for scientific exploration, the reality of such implementations could prove to be a system administrator's nightmare. A lot of effort is being spent on identifying and resolving the obvious problems of security, scheduling, authentication and authorization. Lurking in the background, though, are the largely unaddressed issues of accountability and usage accounting: (1) mapping resource usage to resource...

In the United Kingdom, these two perspectives on lifelong learning sit uneasily together: emphasis on adults in employment and a focus on diversity and widening participation in adult education. A recent emphasis on accreditation with implications for funding has affected diversity and participation objectives because involving assessment, certification, or accreditation tends to discourage participation. The major question for adult educators is how accreditation can be used appropriately to...

Community colleges, in a quest for increased enrollments and expanded educational access, seem less concerned with quality than they were 15 years ago. This is evidenced by the move toward open enrollments, reduced academic requirements, promotion of sporadic course-taking patterns, and vocational, as opposed to general, education. Adjustments have been made to accommodate student preference for video instructional modes, to compensate for the deterioration of the secondary curriculum, and to...
